I never knew what behaviour a tryhard had to in COD to earn that title. I mean doesn't everyone tryhard to win a game or a match in COD?

Here are some urban dictionary entries on the matter.

7.In regards to recreational activities or video games, someone who must put forth 100% effort to come out victorious. As opposed to someone who doesn't need to do their best to win a game or contest.

1. A face-saving insult used by someone who is feeling inadequate. Basically accuses anyone who is better than them at anything of putting in effort. Doubles as an excuse for sucking by implying lack of effort on the speaker's part.

2. An insult blatantly misused by 13-year-old kiddies in online gaming who, ironically, try very hard to win themselves and take it too seriously when they lose.

So which ones apply to tryhards in this game? If any. Or what type of playstile makes someone a try hard? Is there a standard criteria for this that I don't know about? Sometimes I think trickshotters. That fits in with the "hey look what I can do" definition, but they are just trying to look cool, while occasionally getting lucky.

Can someone give me some tryhard examples and elaborate as much as possible.

The random on your team that thinks its cool to use the Draugnov with Silencer and Thermal. When players who don't have the skill level to compete in that lobby use weapons that they are not effective with. That is what I usually refer to as try-harding. Something a little different then the more common definition of a player that is willing to do anything to win and thus runs the ole' MP7 w/Silencer & Ex.Mags and sits his arse in a corner.

A try hard to me is the little dweebs who jump shot pre fire around EVERY corner, Jump, crouch, and prone like they have seizures whenever they encounter enemy fire, use rapid fire and silencer, uses FMG Akimbos alongside sayed Rapid Fire weapons (different from Noobs who use them as primaries full round), and drop shot like its hot.

Tryhard is one of those sad little derogatory CoDisms that the speaker thinks makes them sound cool... it doesn't... Direction of said expression towards another player automatically makes you a complete muppet who really needs to get a life

I'd say all those are correct, but let me try to give you few more simple ways to put it.

Players I consider tryhards are those who really do anything to win, avoid getting in situations where they can get killed, go for high streaks then fail and quit the match because of getting too many deaths and blah blah blah...

If we really start talking about tryhards, they piss me off a lot, because if I go 25-1, they will start changing their classes to something they have rapid fire P90, akimbo FMG or something like that with and kill me once, see it is effective and basically start chasing me just because they happened to be the ones getting killed by my Shotgun (spas, ksg, model) or by AK47,Scar-L,M16, MP5, UMP, MK14....etc.

So yeah, try hard is a player who uses the cheapest tactics to win and always has some goal of what kind of score he wants.

I might be considered as tryhard by some people, but then again when I still played this game I always run middle of the fights just because it was fun and brought more challenge for me.

In my books, a tryhard is someone who switches to FMG9 akimbo when he's losing, ragequits when he is losing/has lost, uses cheap weapons, deathstreaks, and tactics, and thinks that victory should be his no matter what.
